The RBI also included the non-deposit-taking core investment company in the list of 16 NBFCs in the upper layer (UL).

The RBI has been tightening the regulatory framework for NBFCs after the collapse of IL&FS in 2018. NBFC-ULs will be subject to a more stringent disciplinary structure and have to be more transparent with their financials.
